HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The electrohydraulic system comprises an electric pump and six solenoid valves which control the raising/lowering of the hood cover, 5th arc and the actual hood through three pairs of hydraulic cylinders.
It is a closed circuit system which works at high pressure (variable during the operating cycle between 20 and 90 bar appr.) with suitable pipes and fittings and the associated safety systems (overpressure valve set at 120 bar)
The hydraulic components - pump and solenoid valves - are positioned together with the reservoir-accumulator in a single group to be found inside the the passenger compartment boot.
